Orlando Renegades quarterback Reggie Collier likely will remain with the team despite reports he is negotiating with the Dallas Cowboys, Renegades Managing General Partner Don Dizney said Thursday.

Florida Today reported Thursday that Collier was in Dallas along with his agent to sign with the Cowboys ''within days. I expect Reggie to be in a Dallas Cowboys uniform soon,'' Florida Today quoted Collier's agent, Ken Fairley, as saying.

Collier was still in Orlando Thursday. Fairley, reached at his home in Hattiesburg, Miss., called the story ''not true, ridiculous.''

''I'm not in Dallas, and we haven't really ever sat down with the Cowboys to talk numbers,'' he said. ''It's simply not true. There is nothing going on. The ball is in Dallas' court. A reporter called me and asked me about Gary Hogeboom being traded and the Cowboys not drafting a quarterback until the sixth round. All I said was it could increase our leverage with the Cowboys.'' Said Dizney: ''Right now nothing is going on with Reggie. I'd say Reggie is going to stay where he is.''

Collier said negotiations are ''strictly up to the Cowboys. I just wish Gil Brandt would get serious and quit playing games. It has been frustrating.''

Brandt is the Cowboys' director of player personnel. Collier, who still has one year plus an option year remaining on his contract with Orlando, auditioned last month for Cowboys coaches in Dallas.

Collier said he wasn't offered a contract by the Cowboys, who own his NFL draft rights. Neither Brandt nor Cowboys President Tex Schramm returned phone calls Thursday.

The Cowboys had expressed interest in Collier earlier this year because they were unhappy with veteran Danny White, and backup Hogeboom wanted to be traded. Hogeboom was dealt to Indianapolis Monday.
